Hundreds of bikers rev up at children's hospital following Easter charity parade
Hundreds of bikers revved up at a children's hospital in Glasgow as part of an annual Easter charity parade.
The Easter Egg Run, now in its 46th year, is held in aid of the Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity on Easter Sunday and this year marked a return to the hospital itself, offering young patients the chance to see the convoy up close.
Dressed brightly, around 900 bikers converged at Glasgow Green before heading off on a vibrant parade throughout the city's landmarks.
Despite being an Easter Egg Run, participants are urged not to bring chocolate treats as many young patients or are on special diets or 'nil by mouth'. A voluntary £10 donation is suggested instead.

Money raised from the event helps to fund vital projects, medical equipment, and support services for young patients and their families.
Kirsten Watson, chief executive of Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity, said: 'The Easter Egg Run is a highlight of the year for so many of the children in hospital.
'For nearly five decades now, it's been a shining example of the generosity and spirit of Scotland's biking community.
'We're so thankful to everyone who took part and helped bring smiles, laughter and a little bit of magic to the hospital this Easter.'
